Think Your Teacher Is The Best In Maine? Here’s What To Do!

Everybody has a favorite teacher, right? A good teacher can impart knowledge, and sometimes wisdom, to students, but a truly great teacher can inspire them.

Educate Maine in partnership with the Maine Department of Education is now accepting nominations for the Maine County Teacher of the Year 2017 from each of Maine's 16 counties. But, you'd better hurry if you want to nominate someone. The deadline is 5 p.m. on Feb. 6, 2017.

Once the 16 County Teachers of the Year have been chosen, eight semi-finalists are selected. The field is narrowed to three state finalists, one of whom will be announced as the 2018 Maine State Teacher of the Year at a surprise school assembly in the fall of 2017.
